Basic properties of SLE

Abstract

$\mathrm{SLE}_{\kappa}$ is a random growth process based on Loewner’s equation with driving parameter a one-dimensional Brownian motion running with speed $\kappa$. This process is intimately connected with scaling limits of percolation clusters and with the outer boundary of Brownian motion, and is conjectured to correspond to scaling limits of several other discrete processes in two dimensions.
